Please, change comments in YCP source files as explained in the attachment, if time permits. This bug surfaced along with https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230388

Thanks, Karl.

It took me some time to understand so I'll rephrase:

If you have unusual formatting, comments for translators will not make it to the pot files. So make sure that there are no newlines between the parentheses and quotes.

Good: // Foo! _("long ... string") Bad: // Foo! _( "long ... string" )

To see how much code needs fixing I have searched[*] my system and SVN for newlines after the opening paren and found these files. (I cannot search for newlines before the closing paren because that would catch also non-gettext stuff, but that will be fixed in xgettext itself.)
